Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.

I just feel like we learn so much about Javi in the first 5 minutes of season 3, episode 1 of Narcos.
When I was in ninth grade I wanted to challenge what I saw as a very stupid dress code policy (not being allowed to wear spikes regardless of the size or sharpness of the spikes). My dad said to me, “What is your objective?”
He said it over and over. I contemplated that. I wanted to change an unfair dress code. What did I stand to gain? What did I stand to lose? If what I really wanted was to change the dress code, what would be my most effective potential approach? (He also gave me Discourses on the Fall of Rome by Titus Livius, Machiavelli’s magnum opus. Of course he’d already given me The Prince, Five Rings, and The Art of War.)
I ultimately printed out that phrase, coated it in Mod Podge, and clipped it to my bathroom mirror so I would look at it and think about it every day.
What is your objective?
Forget about how you feel. Ask yourself, what do you want to see happen? And then ask, how can you make it happen? Who needs to agree with you? Who has the power to implement this change? What are the points where you have leverage over them? If you use that leverage now, will you impair your ability to use it in the future? Getting what you want is about effectiveness. It is not about being an alpha or a sigma or whatever other bullshit the men’s right whiners are on about now. You won’t find any MRA talking points in Musashi, because they are not relevant.
I had no clear leverage on the dress code issue. My parents were not on the PTA; neither were any of my friend’s parents who liked me. The teachers did not care about this. Ultimately I just wore what I wanted, my patent leather collar from Hot Topic with large but flattened spikes, and I had guessed correctly—the teachers also did not care enough to discipline me.
I often see people on tumblr, mostly the very young, flail around in discourse. They don’t have an objective. They don’t know what they want to achieve, and they have never thought about strategizing and interpersonal effectiveness. No one can get everything they want by being an asshole. You must be able to work with other people, and that includes smiling when you hate them.
Read Machiavelli. Start with The Prince, but then move on to Discourses. Read Musashi’s Five Rings. Read The Art of War. They’re classics for a reason. They can’t cover all situations, but they can do more for how you think about strategizing than anything you’re getting in middle school and high school curricula.
Don’t vote third party unless you can tell me not only what your objective is but also why this action stands a meaningful chance of accomplishing it. Otherwise, back up and approach your strategy from a new angle. I don’t care how angry you are with Biden right now. He knows about it, and he is both trying to do something and not doing enough. I care about what will happen to millions of people if we have another Trump presidency. Look up Ross Perot, and learn from our past. Find your objective. If it is to stop the genocide in Palestine now, call your elected representatives now. They don’t care about emails; they care about phone calls, because they live in the past. I know this because I shadowed a lobbyist, because knowing how power works is critical to using it.
How do you think I have gotten two clinics to start including gender care in their planning?
Start small. Chip away. Keep working. Find your leverage; figure out how and when to effectively use it. Choose your battles, so that you can concentrate on the battle at hand instead of wasting your resources in many directions. Learn from the accumulated wisdom of people who spent their lives learning by doing, by making mistakes, by watching the mistakes of their enemies.
Don’t be a dickhead. Be smarter than I was at 14. Ask yourself: what is your objective?
things fall apart 😂 the centre cannot hold 😂😂 and what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born 😂😂😂🤣🤣
yeah i couldn’t be trusted with a penis id get hard from the way the sun shines through the leaves and everyone would hate me

Scenes that summarize the two marriages. It is Tommy who looks for Grace but she also looks for him and he, happily, receives the affection. On the other hand, with Lizzie, she is the one who always looks for him, he never looked for her, and even though he sometimes receives her affection, he always ends up rejecting her.
The Oppenhomies looking fabulous 😍😍😍😍

Can y’all reblog this too? That way more people can vote if they want💗
Thinking about Tess and Joel while working on my story, and how for all these years, whenever Tess had a reason to be hopeful, Joel would just squish that emotion because he's so broken. He's not doing it out of malice, but he's so trapped in his own misery that he doesn't see how damaging it is for Tess.
And then how he does it again when they're with Ellie, refusing to hope, when Tess clearly wants to, although she doesn't voice it much around him. Until she gets bitten and knows her time is running out, lashing out at him.
"I never asked you for anything" extends to much more than her feelings for him. She's never tried changing his state of mind. She never asked him to let her believe that things could get better.
But at the very end, she asks him to hope, just this once, for her.
